Softening the Soul
(by Robert J. Wicks)
Lighting a candle
in a dark room
is a small gentle act of peace.
When the match touches the wick,
time slows down
and the race to the future ceases.
time slows down
and the race to the future ceases.
Worries are consumed
anxiety burns out
and I sigh deeply.
anxiety burns out
and I sigh deeply.
Watching the flickering light
is a graceful prayer
which eases my stress and lessens my strain.
is a graceful prayer
which eases my stress and lessens my strain.
Finally when the flame goes out
I turn quietly back,
to the events of the day
I turn quietly back,
to the events of the day
And find everything changed because of the time
I sat softening my soul
...by candlelight.
I sat softening my soul
...by candlelight.
